It’s Iimi! Coffee Clash III: Boss Fight?!

When Imam Kouri appeared outside the dojo, wanting to speak, it took Iimi by surprise. Still, following the Church's teaching on interreligious dialogue and the Golden Rule, she would rather have a peaceful discussion than acrimony. Does the Imam feel the same? Or will this turn out to be… Coffee Clash III: Boss Fight?!

Pre-Comic Notes:

(This comic was uploaded prior to the death of Pope Francis on 4/21/25. So, it makes no reference to it.)

Coffee Clashes 1 and 2 were in Issues 96 and 164. Issue 125 also had relevant themes for this story. Knowledge of issues 268 and 269 is necessary to understand this comic.

As these terms show up frequently, a khutbah is the equivalent of a sermon given during Friday prayers at the mosque. Sunnahs are collections of Muhammad's words and actions outside of the Quran.

Post-Comic Notes:

There is an Easter Egg on the title page.

The dialogue between Iimi and Imam Kouri on conversing with the young drew inspiration from one of the dialogues in Xenophon’s Memoirs of Socrates.
